What Our Peloton Obsession Has in Common With the US Housing Boom
by Brad Inman, Inman, 10/8/2022

As the facts roll in, it is clear that the housing boom of the last two years had parallels to the Peloton craze during the pandemic.

The Covid bounce. 

Signing up for the pricey at-home fitness program was the thing to do when you were locked down in your home.

In the past two years, homebuyers also reacted to the pandemic, scattering themselves around the U.S. looking for safe and affordable housing. The market boomed.

Mortgage rates decreased slightly this week due to ongoing economic uncertainty. However, rates remain quite high compared to just one year ago, meaning housing continues to be more expensive for potential homebuyers.
The housing market is stuck
The Housing Market Is Stuck
by Emily Peck, Axios, 10/3/2022

Home prices are mostly too high to appeal to buyers, who are facing skyrocketing mortgage rates. But sellers are loathe to lower asking prices. Sales are cratering — some folks are just walking away from deals.

Why it matters: People expecting a big housing crash might not see it happen so fast. Home sellers don't have to sell right away, especially because the vast majority have mortgages with low rates that they couldn't get now (aka "Golden handcuffs.")
  • The housing market isn't a "clearing market," like the stock market, where you put something up for sale and take whatever price you can get, notes Steven Abrahams, Amherst Pierpont Securities' head of investment strategy.

With Mortgage Rates Soaring, the Housing Market Takes Another Hit
With Mortgage Rates Soaring, The Housing Market Takes Another Hit
by Stefanos Chen, The New York Times, 9/29/2022
 
The interest rate for the most common home loan in the United States surpassed 7 percent this week, by one measure — the latest signal that the high-flying housing market is falling back to earth.

According to Mortgage News Daily, a popular industry gauge, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage reached 7.08 percent on Tuesday. Another survey, by the Mortgage Bankers Association, showed the rate averaging 6.52 percent, the highest reading since mid-2008. Freddie Mac placed it at 6.7 percent, up from 3.01 percent during the same week last year.
